However, what he said was right. This time around, Su Yubai had lost a great deal of face.
After being preoccupied with him for a long time and the schemes by the Elders Council, he did not even manage to play a puny Ye Yuan to death. Instead, he let Ye Yuan cleared the Nine Heavens Road.
After passing through the Nine Heavens Road, Ye Yuan would possess the status and privilege equivalent to that of a Tranquil Cloud Sect’s core disciple. It was no longer possible for Su Yubai to try and openly kill Ye Yuan anymore.
“Congratulations for passing through the Nine Heavens Road, Ye Yuan.” Feng Ruoqing was still so warm and elegant. She only came forth to lightly congratulate.
“Heh heh. Succeeded thanks to luck.” In front of so many people, Ye Yuan did not wish to say too much and only chuckled.
Feng Zhiroui who was behind Feng Ruoqing had a complicated look as she looked at Ye Yuan.
Back then, her casual sword strike could make Ye Yuan disconcerted. She did not expect that Ye Yuan could shorten the distance by so much in such a short time.
Although she was still that little bit stronger than Ye Yuan right now, being caught up or even surpassed by Ye Yuan was something inevitable.
“Alright. Since Ye Yuan’s fine, we’ll head back and talk,” said Huyan Yong.
There were too many people here. Clearly, this was not a good place to talk.
The group returned to Ye Yuan’s residence. Ye Yuan inspected Lu-er first and only relaxed after seeing that nothing was wrong with her.
“Ye Yuan, you seem to be . . . somewhat different.” Girls were still sharper on these things. Feng Ruoqing was the first to notice that Ye Yuan was different.
She discovered that not only did Ye Yuan’s cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, but his entire being’s aura also seemed to have undergone a huge transformation.
Ye Yuan had just fused the sword intents and was still not really able to release and withdraw it freely yet. His entire being stood there like an unsheathed sharp sword. There was a huge discrepancy between this and his previously wastrel temperament.
Ye Yuan nodded with a smile and said, “Haha. I’ve incurred ridicule from Teacher Feng. I obtained some rewards from the Nine Heavens Road. It’s just that I’m still unable to control it freely right now. I didn’t expect that Teacher Feng could see through it.”
Hearing this, Huyan Yong was speechless. “Other people face almost certain death when challenging the Nine Heavens Road. Being able to survive was already not bad. You actually had such a huge harvest? Seriously a freak!”
When he heard Feng Ruoqing say this, Huyan Yong naturally also noticed Ye Yuan’s change. He scolded verbally, but he was actually overjoyed in his heart.
Chapter 106

“Coincidentally comprehended, that’s all. Teacher Huyan, Teacher Feng, I want to enter a retreat to consolidate my cultivation these two days. After exiting seclusion, I wish to enter the Endless Forest. At that time, I’ll have to trouble the two of you with Lu-er.”
Regarding the Nine Heavens Road’s matters, Ye Yuan just sidestepped it with some words.
He already swore a Heavenly Dao oath. His tongue would surely slip if he talks too much. It was best to talk less.
Huyan Yong and Feng Ruoqing were also understanding of Ye Yuan’s dilemma, so they kept quiet and did not mention it.
Rather, the two of them were quite surprised Ye Yuan mentioned that he wanted to go to the Endless Forest.
“Taking care of Lu-er is naturally not an issue. But what do you plan to do in the Endless Forest?” Feng Ruoqing asked.
Ye Yuan answered, “To find some herbs. Lu-er’s condition isn’t that great. The essence energy I transmitted would only help her to temporarily suppress the frost poison. As time passes, the eruption would be even more terrifying. There is a type of high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill called Cold Dispelling Pill. It can control the frost poison in Lu-er’s body for the time being. But the herbs that this medicinal pill requires are rather uncommon. I think that only the Endless Forest has them.”
When she heard that, Feng Ruoqing was astonished. “There’s actually such a powerful Tier 2 medicinal pill? The eruption of frost poison due to the Nine Yin Absolute Meridian is basically incurable. This medicinal pill can actually control the frost poison?!”
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “Teacher said before, there aren’t any truly incurable illnesses in the world. The method just hasn’t been discovered yet. The path of medicinal pills is a Great Dao and possesses limitless possibilities. When cultivated to a supreme level, one can transform something rotten into something magical. Nothing is impossible.”
Feng Ruoqing’s eyes lit up as she seemed to have understood something.
Ye Yuan’s words were filled with wisdom, helping Feng Ruoqing suddenly see the light.
Although she knew that the path of medicinal pills was broad and profound, her horizons were limited after all. She could frequently only immerse herself in that acre of land.
Although Alchemy Dao and Martial Dao had different systems, there was still one thing which was the same, which was the more you comprehended, the more you discovered your ignorance.
With the passing of time, this sort of feeling would affect your own mental state and impact cultivation from there.
Ye Yuan’s words opened up another window for Feng Ruoqing.
After musing on Ye Yuan’s words for some time, Feng Ruoqing sighed in admiration. “Your master is truly an expert!”
Ye Yuan carried a mischievous mentality and blew his own trumpet as he continued talking,”Yeah. Master that old man is unfathomable. I can barely understand a fraction. It’s a pity that he likes to travel the world. I also don’t know when I can meet him again.”
Feng Ruoqing obviously could not tell that Ye Yuan was praising himself, but instead, felt that it was expected of Ye Yuan to be saying that.
“However, even if you gather the ingredients, are you able to refine a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill?” Feng Ruoqing asked doubtfully.
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “I can’t refine it at the moment. After returning from the Endless Forest, I will continue closed-seclusion to impact the Spirit Condensation Realm with full force! As long as I breakthrough to the Spirit Condensation Realm, refining the Cold Dispelling Pill shouldn’t be an issue.”
The soul strength of a high-grade Alchemy Master was required to refine a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill.
Back then, when Ye Yuan’s soul strength was lacking, and he refined a low-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill at the Fourth Level Essence Qi Realm, he directly collapsed in exhaustion.
Although Ye Yuan’s current strength had significantly improved, his soul strength did not grow by much. Wanting to refine a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill was no doubt a fool’s talk.
But as long as he broke through to the Spirit Condensation Realm, Ye Yuan’s soul strength would experience a qualitative leap. At that time, with his Alchemy Dao’s prowess, refining a high-grade Tier 2 medicinal pill would not be too difficult.
Huyan Yong exchanged glances with Feng Ruoqing and then said, “Since that’s the case, you will join the Endless Trials with the other students then. Although the Endless Forest is a limitless treasure trove, there is also a great deal of danger inside. There are a large number of high tier demonic beasts. Even Crystal Formation Realm martial artists would also lose their lives inside if they were not careful! You being together with the other students can at least look after one another.”
Ye Yuan asked curiously, “Oh? There’s such an activity in the academy?”
“No way! You don’t even know about the Endless Trials? To think you already have the power of a Heaven rank student now!” Feng Zhirou who had been silent exclaimed in surprise.
Ye Yuan rubbed his nose in embarrassment and felt somewhat awkward. “That . . . I mucked around too much last time. Heh heh.”
To th
e former Ye Yuan, forget about the Endless Trials, he was not even interested in classes. How could he have the thought to inquire about this stuff?
Even if he heard about it, he would just turn a deaf ear to it. He simply had no interest in knowing.
Feng Zhirou rolled her eyes and gave Ye Yuan an explanation concerning the details of the Endless Trials.
For the sake of tempering students’ practical combat ability, the Dan Wu Academy would organize an Endless Trials every fixed period of time.
Specific missions had to be completed during the Endless Trials, or else, the academy would deduct certain welfares.
The missions were tied to the student’s rank. The missions which Heaven rank students were required to complete was to turn in ten Tier 2 demonic beasts’ inner cores, and ten stalks of Tier 2 medicinal herbs.
Apart from what was handed in for the mission, the other items seized belonged to the students themselves.
Most importantly, the academy only specified the quantity for the mission but did not stipulate what methods one could use to obtain them.
Hence, the Endless Trials also became a venue for students to settle their personal grudges.
Furthermore, the Endless Forest was filled with dangers. Every Endless Trial, many students would remain there forever.
When Ye Yuan heard that, he curled his mouth and said, “So that’s the case. Does Teacher Huyan intend for Senior Apprentice Sister Feng and me to participate in the Endless Trials together?”
Huyan Yong did not get to say anything before Feng Zhirou immediately blew up. “What? Are you scared that I will drag you down? Come, come, come, let’s duke it out now and see just who hinders who! Don’t think that you can taunt a Martial Roll’s expert just because you were lucky to breakthrough to the Ninth Level Essence Qi Realm!”
While talking, Feng Zhirou drew her sword with a ‘Schwing!’ and assuming a fighting posture as she waved it around in front of Ye Yuan,
“A good man does not fight with women. I didn’t say anything, you were the one who said it.” Ye Yuan used his finger to push Feng Zhirou’s sword aside helplessly.
“Then what did you mean? Say it!” Feng Zhirou pointed the tip of the sword which was nudged away back at Ye Yuan.
“Hey! This sword is very sharp. Don’t play with it, ok? I’m aware that you Martial Roll’s experts are powerful, alright? Actually, what I meant was that I can resolve the problem with your body.”
Ye Yuan hurriedly jumped aside. This lass tended to strike whenever she liked, best to be more careful.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s words, Feng Zhirou revealed a complicated look, but it was swiftly replaced by stubbornness.
“Humph! Who do you think you are? You say you can resolve it and it’s settled? Let me tell you now, there’s nothing wrong with my body! No need for your concern!” Finishing, Feng Zhirou sheathed her sword and walked out of the door.
The previous time, Feng Zhirou and Ye Yuan used voice transmission to communicate. Hence, Feng Ruoqing was unaware of what happened. Seeing the situation, she asked in puzzlement, “Something’s wrong with Zhirou’s body, Ye Yuan?”
Ye Yuan smiled and said, “Actually, it isn’t anything serious either. But, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s personality is overly stubborn. If things carry on, maybe a major problem might occur.”
Ye Yuan briefly recounted the problem with Feng Zhirou’s body. Feng Ruoqing furrowed her brows when she heard it.
“So that’s the case! This lass has shocking potential, so I was wondering why she advanced so slowly recently! At first, I thought that she was lazy and slacking off, but I didn’t think that it was due to this reason!”
Chapter 107

“But Zhirou’s cultivation law is already fixed. What should be done then? Zhirou that lass is very stubborn, and now she knows that she can’t ever breakthrough in the future. If a long time passes, a problem will really occur!”
Since it involved Feng Zhirou’s cultivation road, being her aunt, Feng Ruoqing was unable to remain calm.
“Don’t be anxious. Didn’t Ye Yuan say he had a solution earlier?” Huyan Yong was clearly more collected than her as he hurriedly said.
“Ah, right. What solution do you have, Ye Yuan? As long as you can let Zhirou continue cultivating, I can promise you anything!” The words slipped out of Feng Ruoqing’s mouth.
As soon as the words came out, Feng Ruoqing suddenly realized that it was a little inappropriate.
If Ye Yuan had some overboard request, did she have to agree too?
Thinking of this, Feng Ruoqing could not help blushing heavily, and she swiftly turned her face away.
Ye Yuan did not think too much from the start. When he saw Feng Ruoqing’s crimson face, he was unwittingly stupefied.
However, he quickly recovered, and could not resist wildly fantasizing about all sorts of requests on the spur of the moment.
But Huyan Yong was also by the side, so it obviously was not the time to flirt. This would make it so difficult for a lady to step down from the stage!
Luckily, Ye Yuan had already comprehended Heart Like Still Water now. Wanting to control his emotions was still easily managed.
“Don’t need to be courteous, Teacher Feng. Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s problem isn’t hard to resolve. It’s just that if I go and fix it, she probably won’t allow it. So I can only do it through you.,” Ye Yuan said with a serious face and waved his hands.
When Feng Ruoqing saw that Ye Yuan did not seem to have any misunderstandings, she could not help quietly blaming herself for being shameless; having her imaginations run wild over some things. She could not even compare to a youth’s frankness.
Of course, there was still a tiny bit of resentment after the blaming.
If it were somebody else, they would probably have wild ideas after hearing her say these sort of words. But Ye Yuan did not seem to be moved. This involuntarily made Feng Ruoqing question her charm.
“Quickly tell what method you have!” Feng Ruoqing said anxiously.
“En. Actually, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s biggest problem is that the cultivation law she’s training in does not match well with her physique. If you want to resolve this issue, the crux lies in the words ‘Yin-Yang Harmony’!” Ye Yuan said.
“Yin-Yang Harmony?” Feng Ruoqing pondered over these words and shook her head. It was clear that she still did not understand what Ye Yuan was saying.
Ye Yuan continued explaining, “Due to the cultivation law, it caused Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s bodily Yang qi to be overly excessive. Thus, it resulted in her body being very averse to essence energy. Under these circumstances, continuing to cultivate her original cultivation law would definitely pile one disaster after another. The best method is naturally to disperse her cultivation, and re-cultivate by selecting a cultivation law suited to her physique.”
Feng Ruoqing frowned and said, “So the method you said referred to this! Zhirou is currently at her prime time of cultivation. The moment she disperses her cultivation to re-cultivate, all these years of hard work would have been completely wasted. What’s more, it would also delay cultivation. Even if I go talk to her, it’s impossible for her to agree to it. This is even worse than killing her.”
Ye Yuan nodded unconcernedly and continued, “Alright. Since that’s the case, we can only use another method. It’s just that this method will make Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s future martial arts road become even more challenging. Of course, once she succeeds in cultivating, her strength would also greatly surpass same-rank martial artists.”
Feng Ruoqing’s eyes lit up as she asked, “What method?”
“Let Senior Apprentice Sister Feng select a gentle Yin attribute cultivation law, and start training both cultivation laws at the same time right away! Just now, I said that the crux lies in the words ‘Yin-Yang Harmony.’ As long as the essence energy within her body reaches Yin-Yang harmony standard,
all the problems will be easily solved.”
“So it can actually be done like that? Great!” Feng Ruoqing was overjoyed when she heard that.
“Don’t be happy so soon, Teacher Feng.”
“Why?”
“Although this method can resolve Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s problem, the requirement towards cultivation law is very high. The two cultivation laws must complement each other and work in concert. Using this method, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng must temporarily suspend the cultivation law she is currently training in, and cultivate another cultivation law to the same level. Mm, even with Senior Apprentice Sister Feng’s talent, it will probably still take a year or so. That is to say, within this one year, Senior Apprentice Sister Feng will not advance at all!”
Hearing that, Feng Ruoqing did not mind at all and then said, “That’s also something that can’t be helped. This is much better than dispersing her cultivation. I will head back right away to help Zhirou select a suitable cultivation law!”
After that, Feng Ruoqing turned around and got ready to leave.
Ye Yuan hurriedly stopped her, saying, “Wait!”
“Is there anything else? Zhirou must have been very depressed over this matter these few days. I got to hurry and find her.” Feng Ruoqing was also torn with anxiety.
Ye Yuan gave a sigh and said, ” An anxious heart can’t eat hot tofu. 1 This thing can’t be resolved in one or two days. Even if you go right now, you also can’t help much.”
“But . . .”
“Not that I’m scaring Teacher Feng, but the selection of cultivation law needs to be extremely particular. If the selected cultivation law is unable to complement her existing cultivation law, the problems it would cause in the future would be even greater than now!”
“Ah? Then . . . what should I do?” Feng Ruoqing was at a loss.
“I wonder if Teacher Feng has the jade slip of the cultivation law that Senior Apprentice Sister trained in.”
“This . . . I have it at my residence, I’ll go get it for you straight away.” Feng Ruoqing hesitated for a moment but still agreed.
